ApproveThis manages your Cyber Aware Integration approvals.

Two Tools Walk Into a Bar...

Let’s cut through the jargon: ApproveThis is your go-to for untangling approval chaos. Cyber Aware? It’s the cybersecurity sheriff keeping your client training and phishing defenses tight. Separately, they’re good. Together? They’re the duo that lets you say “approved” without accidentally greenlighting a ransomware attack.

Here’s the deal: Cyber Aware handles the gritty work of client cybersecurity health checks and training. ApproveThis slaps structure on the approval chaos those processes create. Connect them via Zapier, and you’ve got automated handoffs that would make an assembly line jealous.

Why This Combo Doesn’t Suck

Most approval tools treat security workflows like an afterthought. Most security platforms assume everyone’s got time to chase down sign-offs manually. This integration fixes both:

• No more “Who approved this?” – Every Cyber Aware action (client onboarding, risk assessments) triggers an approval chain in ApproveThis automatically.
• Zero license headaches – Approvers only need ApproveThis access. No extra Cyber Aware seats required, even for external clients.

Translation: Your IT team stops playing middleman between security protocols and the people who need to sign off on them.

Real Sh*t You Can Automate

Let’s get specific. These aren’t hypothetical “maybe someday” use cases – they’re what happens when two tools actually talk to each other:

1. Health Check → Instant Risk Review

The Setup: A client completes Cyber Aware’s security health check → ApproveThis pings the right person to review their risk status.

Who Cares: Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Imagine you’re handling cybersecurity for 50+ clients. Every health check completion auto-triggers an approval request to escalate high-risk findings. No more spreadsheet juggling to track what’s urgent.

Bonus Points: Use ApproveThis’ approval thresholds to auto-approve low-risk clients and only flag the sketchy ones. Saves your team from approval fatigue.

2. New Lead → Vetted in 5 Minutes, Not 5 Days

The Setup: Cyber Aware captures a new lead → ApproveThis fires off a request to your sales lead for instant qualification.

Who Cares: Cybersecurity consultancies. When a enterprise lead pops up, you don’t want them cooling off while you hunt down the VP for sign-off. Approval happens in email (because sales VPs live there), deal moves forward same-day.

3. Approval Granted → Client Gets Upgraded, No BS

The Setup: ApproveThis approves a client upgrade → Cyber Aware automatically bumps their account tier.

Who Cares: IT departments managing client cybersecurity tiers. No more manual upgrades after approvals – reduces human error (and the “wait, did you process that?” slack messages).

How to Set This Up Without Losing Your Mind

If you’ve used Zapier before, this is stupid simple. If not, it’s still easier than explaining phishing to your CEO:

1. Pick Your Trigger: In Zapier, choose when something happens in Cyber Aware (new health check, lead, etc.).
2. Connect ApproveThis: Map the Cyber Aware data to an ApproveThis approval template. Pro tip: Use calculated fields to auto-add risk scores or client tiers.
3. Decide Who Approves: Assign individuals, groups, or set thresholds. Ex: All health checks with risk scores over 80% get auto-escalated to CISO.

Done. Now approvals flow without you copy-pasting data between tabs like it’s 2004.

Who Actually Benefits (Spoiler: Not Just IT)

This isn’t just for the techies. Cross-functional teams get wins too:

Sales & Client Management

New client onboarded in Cyber Aware? Approval requests for contract sign-offs or service tiers auto-route to legal and finance. No more “I thought you handled this?”

Compliance Teams

Every approved/rejected request in ApproveThis leaves an audit trail. Combine that with Cyber Aware’s client reports, and you’ve got compliance documentation that doesn’t require all-nighters before audits.

External Clients & Partners

Clients get Cyber Aware training invites without needing ApproveThis logins. They complete their part; your team approves next steps internally. Cleaner than a shared Google Sheet.

But Wait, There’s More (Actual Features, Not Infomercial Gimmicks)

ApproveThis brings a few aces to the table that make this integration pop:

Vacation Delegation: Approver OOO? Requests auto-reassign. Critical for time-sensitive security approvals that can’t wait.

Email-Based Approvals: Stakeholders approve/reject via email. No logins, no training – just click a button. Perfect for execs who “don’t do new apps.”

Real-Time Dashboards: See every pending Cyber Aware-related approval. Spot bottlenecks fast (looking at you, legal team).

Cool, But Does This Actually Work?

Let’s get cynical for a sec. Most integrations promise the moon and deliver a potato. Here’s why this one’s different:

No Duplicate Data Entry: Cyber Aware triggers contain all necessary client/request details. ApproveThis auto-populates fields – zero retyping.

No License Gatekeeping: External approvers (like clients’ legal teams) don’t need Cyber Aware seats. They interact purely via ApproveThis emails.

No “Oops” Moments: Conditional approval paths mean high-risk items can’t slip through without proper vetting. You define the rules; the tools enforce them.

Ready to Stop Approving Manually?

If you’re still routing Cyber Aware requests through Slack DMs or worse, shared Excel sheets, let’s fix that. ApproveThis isn’t just another tool – it’s the missing layer between your cybersecurity ops and the people who need to say “yes.”
